Second late-antique fortress at CUT/Xanten(D) ?
#1
Hi,
....I just ran into a discussion on the german forum "Geschichtsforum" , dating from Dec., 12th last year.
"skilehrer" stated that he had been visiting the recent excavations at Xanten where the excavators revealed that a second (small) reductionary camp had been found in the southern corner inside the city-wall of the CUT.
Two pics/maps that he made give a faint idea, but I wont link them directly for reasons of copyright. 
The main link:

At first glance it looks suspiciously like a larger version of the reductionary late fortlet of Durnomagus.
I may/may not be a predecessor of the larger fortress in the center of CUT.
Since essays on topics from CUT do take their time ( a looooooong one in most cases) before they get published,
I wonder if somebody here could help me out with more informations.

Greez & Thanks
